Grams are weight, teaspoon is volume. I don't know where this person below got their numbers, but everywhere I read, 1tsp=5ml, and 1ml of water = approx 1g, therefore 1tsp of water =5g of water. (5g=5000mg) If what you are measuring weighs less than water, then 1tsp is less than 5g, and vice versa. So it appears that wherever this person below got their numbers, they were using something that weighs about half as much as water. (especially since to be precise, water actually weighs about 5.4g/tsp) What you need is a small kitchen scale to measure grams, or else you will have to look up the weight of whatever you are trying to measure and convert. There are 2.67 grams (g) in a tsp. Since there are 1000 mg per g, this gives 2.67 g x 1000 mg/g = 2670 mg.

Ergo 1 tsp = 2670 mg.

How much tsp equals 6mg?

it depends: a teaspoon is 1/6 fluid ounce (US) and 1/4.8 fluid ounce (BI) an ounce is 29.6 ml(US) or 28.37 ml (BI), milligrams of water therefor are 29,600 and 28,370 per fluid ounce. For other materials these change. Sugar is about 22,700 and flour about 16,210 mg per ounce (US) this equates to the following. 1 tsp water (US) = 4933.333... mg or 0.0012 tsp = ~ 6 mg 1 tsp sugar (US) = ~ 3783.33 mg or 0.001586 tsp = ~ 6 mg 1 tsp flour (US) = ~ 2701.66 mg or 0.00222 tsp = ~ 6 mg 1 tsp water (BI) = 5910.6666... mg or 0.00101 tsp = ~ 6 mg 1 tsp sugar (BI) = ~4532.65 mg or 0.00132 tsp = ~ 6 mg 1 tsp flour (BI) = ~ 3236.75 mg or 0.00185 tsp = ~ 6 mg weight to volume conversions are dependent on the specific gravity of a substance and the actual measurement system being used.
